However, there are several more considerations that must be taken into account when
setting up a SCSI bus. In this section I will cover important issues that any person
setting up or managing a SCSI PC will need to understand. I begin with a discussion of
SCSI bus topology, which covers legal and illegal ways of connecting devices. I then talk
about the number of devices allowed on a SCSI chain and how to set device IDs to prevent
conflicts. I then cover several miscellaneous configuration issues, including software
control, BIOS issues, and physical installation considerations. Finally, I talk about how
to mix wide and narrow devices, and also how to use SCSI drives along with IDE/ATA drives
in the same system.
